Jeopardy has been on the air for so long that they need to come up with creative ways to give out the clues in the categories. So yesterday, they added a new category (at least I assume so) called Picture The Song.
It is really easy. Instead of using words, the producers use a picture to describe the title of a song. For example, the first one was a picture of a stairway going up into the heavens. What single do you think that is? Of course, it is Led Zepplin’s Stairway to Heaven.
How well did you do with the rest of the clues?
And what I want to know is when they are going to turn this into a card game? I would totally play this with my friends on game night. I mean, how many times can we play Cards Against Humanity? What is, never enough?
Jeopardy loves dogs so much that they gave the canines their own category. How well do the contestants know man’s best friend? Much better than I did. But I am a cat lady, not a crazy one, according to my cat.
Yesterday on Jeopardy, they asked the contestants, “Matthew McConaughey said, ‘Dazed and Confused, the first words I’ve ever said on film were’ these.”
As soon as Ken Jennings read the question, I knew I was going to do alright, alright, alright. And I assume you felt the same way. I mean, that question is worth like $200 during regular play.
So there should be no way that anyone would miss that answer? Right? Wrong. The now-former champion didn’t get it. And now everything in the world is not alright, alright, alright.
Seriously, if you asked anyone what words do you think of when you hear Matthew McConaughey’s name, everyone but Amy Bekkerman would say that one word three times. I bet you did!
This week ABC is airing Jeopardy National College Championship. They asked the contestants, “The original of this series that featured Blake Lively & Leighton Meester as privileged teens in New York City.”
You and I are old enough to know that the is answer is “what is Gossip Girl.” However, Joey thought it was 2 Broke Girls. To which Beth Behrs, who is one of the 2 Broke Girls, said, “Oh the kids these days…. (I feel old).”
If she is feeling old, how should we feel? Damn you, Jeopardy! No xoxo to you.
Earlier this week, Amy Schneider won the second most consecutive games on Jeopardy. The only person who has won more games in a row is Ken Jennings.
Today, after 40 wins, she suffered her first loss. Therefore, her steak is over. And what a streak it was. She walks away with $1,382,800.
“It’s really been an honor,” Schneider said. “To know that I’m one of the most successful people at a game I’ve loved since I was a kid and to know that I’m a part of its history now, I just don’t know how to process it.”
This is not the last we have seen of her. Schneider will be back for the Tournament of Champions. Will she be playing against Rhone Talsma, the man who beat her tonight? Tune in tomorrow and the day after that to find out how long his streak will last.
